Interview: Dame Dash talks betrayal from Jay-Z, last days of Roc-A-Fella, Aaliyah and more...

...I mean I thought the way Jay carried things was a betrayal to the company, you know what I’m saying?...


I just felt like Roc-A-Fella should still exist. 

And that it should.  I concur with his reasoning….
The Combat Jack show snags music mogul Dame Dash (co-founder of Roc-A-Fella records, for an in depth interview (Just Blaze is also present) about what he’s been up to, his relationship with the late Aaliyah, divorce with ex-wife Rachel Ray, and more.  In the midst of this, Dame touched on what we’ve all wanted to hear:  The downfall of Roc-A-Fella records and “departure” from Jay-Z. 

This interview is actually really long.  If you’re expecting a 20 minute convo.. try nearly an 1hr and ½.  Thankfully, the classy folks over at  theJasmineBrand ( s.o to @crelsmusic) pulled a few excerpts for those who aren't able to listen to it all:   


Why He Took Things Personal in Business:



Mental state during the last days of Roc-A-Fella:



Departing from Jay-Z:

If he felt betrayed by Jay-Z:
 

The Last Time He Spoke to Jay:




On How He and Aaliyah got Involved:




Divorcing Rachel Ray:



It’s a very interesting/hilarious interview (for hip hop heads), nevertheless, especially when it breaks into a nice Roc-A-Fella mix towards the middle and an actual argument over “fake jerseys/fashion”.  If you have time, definitely check it out. 



“We don’t stick together as a culture.. it’s ridiculous to me”. 
I, so, agree with you Dame.  I SO agree with you.
